His military career consisted of the usual tres militiae for a member of the equestrian order . First he took over the management of a Cohors I Alpinorum as prefect . He then became a tribune of the Legio VII Gemina , whose headquarters were in Legio in the province of Hispania Tarraconensis . He then took over as prefect of the Ala I Tungrorum Frontoniana .

Albinus was inscribed in the Voltinia tribe .

Remarks

  1. ↑ There were three units with this designation (see Cohors I Alpinorum ). John Spaul assigns Albinus to the Cohors I Alpinorum (Pannonia, peditata) , Florian Matei-Popescu, Ovidiu Țentea, however, to the Cohors I Alpinorum (Dacia) .
